Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 grams.
- Test material was moistened with water prior to administration.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Four hours.
Observation period:
72 hours.
Number of animals:
Three.
Details on study design:
On the day prior to application, an area on the dorsal area of the trunk of each animal was clipped free of fur. The following day, 0.5 g of test material was applied to the intact skin on each rabbit under a gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm in size. The patch was covered with tape and the trunk of the animal was wrapped with an elastic bandage. After 4 hours, the dressings were removed and the skin wiped with dampened tissues to remove any residual test substance. Animals were examined for signs of irritation after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and effects scored according to Draize.

Executive summary:

A GLP-compliant study was carried out with Bordeaux Mixture in accordance with the requirements of OECD 404 without significant deviation. Test materialwas moistened with water prior to administration. Three young adult male New Zealand white rabbits weighing 1.7 to 2.0 kg were housed singly and acclimatised prior to dosing. On the day prior to application, an area on the dorsal area of the trunk of each animal was clipped free of fur. The following day, 0.5 g of test material was applied to the intact skin on each rabbit under a gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm in size. The patch was covered with tape and the trunk of the animal was wrapped with an elastic bandage. After 4 hours, the dressings were removed and the skin wiped with dampened tissues to remove any residual test substance. Animals were examined for signs of irritation after 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and effects scored according to Draize.

No erythema or oedema was recorded in any animal at any time. On this basis, Bordeaux Mixure is not classified as a skin irritant.
